hi guys ..i am a newbe to this sight...hiope i am in the right place..i need some very important info on a 1996 bluebierd sss..i just purchased this car cheaply...the motor has a bad noise ,which i thought was a timing chain problem..i am now thinking it may be eithe gudgeon or cam ..it is a bad clunking noise when load is taken of motor..at start it makes this noise until oil pressure takes up...have taken tappet cover off and upper chains are tight...have not checked lowers yet ..noise seems high on motor..check it with a stethoscope later...the main thing i am asking is ,is it possible to fit a sr20 dohc motor to this car with no probs ..with original box bolt up , use original wiring and ecu with any minor changes...not sure on the power difference but will check..ka24de motors seem a bit hard to come by,so i thought of trying one of these..i am not after a lot of power as i am to old for that now..just want to get this car going to drive...all help would be much appreciated

here in the u.s. those cars are called nissan altima's. the ka24de is also very easy to come by here and those cars are pretty common to find in junkyards by me. if you search nissan altima replacement motors it might be easier to find a ka. the fwd version of the sr20 i would imagine should bolt in. I have never heard of that swap. the best way to look and see if it would swap would be to look at the motormount setup of a fwd sr20 and see if your ka ones look the same and look to be in the same places. the wiring should be the same as a sr20 going into a 240sx or s chassis car here, check on nicoclub.com to see if it has been done before

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
